@Whitlaw16495@IntEngineering Thats not what the article says. Removing polyps before they become cancer prevents CRC. This study looked at what happens to the gut biome. Unsurprisingly, removal of polyps prevents them turning into cancer, but it doesn't alter what made them start down that path to begin with
@CritiquesAAP@IntEngineering No. Colon cancer is showing up in younger patients in recent years. Get a colonoscopy. CRC is 100% preventable, but only if you get checked
@LindaChadd26259@IntEngineering Parasites and vaccines are not relevant to this issue. Removal of polyps eliminates the risk of those specific polyps becoming malignant (they are gone). Other polyps that are normal at the time of the colonoscopy could become malignant. That's why you return in 3 yrs, not 5
@Captain8136@konstructivizm Because there are hundreds of other objects the same or larger size in the same belt. If we include Pluto, we don't get one more planet, we get hundreds
